Fuel pump rela

Post by Jan Ferreira »

I am looking for the fuel pump relay on my 2000 model 2700i DC 4x4. The manual says it is on the left hand side of the cab behind the glove box. I removed the glove box and the kick panel, no relay! Does anybody know where it is mounted and what it looks like. Thanks

You should hear it click when you turn the key to "IGTN" .... try listening where it comes from. Bear in mind that there may be one or two other relays that kick in as well. Not under the RHS kick panel perhaps? :think:

I tried listening to the click, but as you say there are about three, but could not pinpoint them. Behind rh kickpanel I did find a relay, but after disconnecting it the engine still started, so I supppose It does something else.

Hi Jan, can I guess and say you want to fit a hidden switch as a DIY immobilizer?
If so - I'm also going to start looking for that relay or a way to fit a switch to the pump's operation.
